Just had to share with someone that I love my new hammer drill!  It use to take me 30~45 minutes to drill one inch in concrete...now it take about 30 seconds to drill three inches!  I wish I had more concrete to drill!!!

Talk about the joys of using the right tool for the job!

What brand. I've had an eletronic AEG for almost 20 years. Great tool. To bad they don't import them any more.

So when the only tool you have is a hammer drill, does all the world look like a nail screw?





Sorry. Couldn't help myself. I'll go report to the "ban yourself" thread.

I'm partial to Bosch and Hilti

I'm sorry but when I saw the title of the thread I automatically thought I would see a link to this

Oh yeah, they are sweet!!!

You guys think I could demo a very old, smallish, brick garage with a hammer drill?  I was thinking about getting one that had the hammer only function, and using it to knock bricks out one at a time.

I sell these tools, check out a rotary hammer if you think a hammer drill is fun. . .

And while we're talking Bosch, I f'ing love this little Impactor.  As soon as my rep brought one in, I had to buy one.

I have the PS-20 screw gun as well, but the PS-40 impactor crushes it all day long.  I love it!

I have been drolling over that little Bocsh since it came out.

B laughs at me when I point them out in stores.  I don't think he realizes how powerful they really are.

Hammer drills and Hole Hawgs lose their charm if you use them every day.

Glad I don't any more.

They're more user friendly now.

It's all perspective.

I think Sawsalls and dremels are the ultimate power tools.  Too me at least.  Though a good hammer drill has come in handy when needed.  Hell, powertools in general are the shiznit  [cheeky]
